day eight – (the thirteen days of Christmas)

O is for OPENING the gifts at the tree; He tore heaven open and gave us Jesus for free.

P is for PURITY, like fresh white snow; because he was sinless, he can make us so.

M is for MARY, who was chosen by grace; she was the first to see her Saviour’s face.

N is for NATIVITY, that awesome night; when our Saviour was born it was love at first sight.

K is for KINGS – they called the wise men; they were really just people who were looking for him.

L is for LIGHTS, adorning the tree; and a single star that guided the three.

I is for INCENSE to freshen the air; the wise men gave him some when they visited there.

J is for JESUS, God’s Saviour and king; he is the reason we celebrate and sing.

G is for GIFTS – we all love them; remember the gifts the wise men gave him?

H is for HOPE, fulfilled back then, and the blessed hope of his coming again.
